Start the Deployment Wizard on the existing operating system on the target computer to start the Standard Client Replace Task Sequence template created earlier in the process. The Deployment Wizard saves the user state migration data of the existing target computer to the location you specify.

To complete the Deployment Wizard

1.   Start the Deployment Wizard by connecting to the appropriate deployment share (for example, \\server_name\Distribution$\Scripts) and typing cscript litetouch.vbs.

The Deployment Wizard starts.

2.   Complete the Deployment Wizard as described in Running the Deployment Wizard, ensuring that you specifically follow the configuration settings on the wizard pages listed in Table 18 and select the values on the other wizard pages that are appropriate to your organization.

Do this

Select a task sequence to execute on this computer

Select the task sequence you created for the target computer in the Replace Computer deployment scenario to save the user state migration data.

Specify where to save your data and settings.

In the Location box, type the fully qualified path to the location in which you want to store the user state migration data. This location must be accessible to the new target computer.

Specify where to save a complete computer backup

Click Specify a location, and then type the fully qualified path to the location in which you want to store the backup.

Note   This backup is for use in restoring user state migration data that might have been missed, not as a rollback method for the target computer. If you want to have rollback capability for the target computer, perform a full backup using your organization’s backup software.

 

The wizard starts, and the operating system deployment starts. At the end of the process, the Deployment Summary dialog box appears.

3.   In the Deployment Summary dialog box, click Details.

If any errors or warnings occur, review them, and record any diagnostic information. For more information about the errors or warnings, see the MDT document Troubleshooting Reference.

4.   In the Deployment Summary dialog box, click Finish.

The user state migration data of the existing target computer is saved.
